What
is without periods of rest will not endure. —OvidWhen we are tired, we need to stop and give ourselves time to
rest. Sometimes we think we can't spare the time. But without rest, all our
activity soon becomes a burden and there is no joy in it. Animals know it is
necessary to take time to rest. This is part of the rhythm of life: activity and
rest, effort and relaxation.

Our bad moods
are often our body's way of telling us we need rest. When we were little, we
needed naps. Somehow, we forget to allow ourselves this right when we are older.
We are wise to remember we never outgrow this need for rest to make the day go
better.
